"Xiao Yue!" mom called from down stairs. Argg! Not this morning, please give me a break.
"Mom, I'm awake and ready for work, no need to scold me" I said in a stressed tone. Suddenly, the door burst open and mum rushed in, a look of excitement visible on her face. My eyes widened in surprise as I turned to her.
She didn't respond immediately, still caught up in the moment. She came closer to me, her phone held in hand. "Look at this!" She exclaimed with enthusiasm.
I took the phone out of her hands and my eyes scanned the screen. It was a photo of Jiang Guangyu and I in two different wrong positions. I scrolled down and my eyes widened seeing the comments;
'Who is this mysterious girl', 'how many girlfriends does Jiang Guangyu have a girlfriend?', 'I'm sure I know this girl, she works in an advertisement company? Jiang Guangyu don't do this', 'so cute' and so on. The hottest and most searched were 'Jiang Guangyu girlfriend' and 'mystery girl'. What the hell is going on, who took this photo.
"So, you were seeing the heir to Jiang gaming industry and I wasn't informed…that explains why you went to that restaurant the other day. Only if I had known, I wouldn't have stopped you". I didn't really care about what she was saying, I'm still trying to process everything.
What if Qin Liang sees this…no, there are lots of Xiao Yue out there and he hasn't seen my face. Phew, what a relief.
I rushed to get to work on time as I made my way through the crowded street. I had just grabbed a coffee and checked the time as I continued walking. Suddenly, a group of reporters hurried towards me with cameras and microphones in their hands.
I was caught off guard when they fired questions left and right. Am I a celebrity now? "Is it true you're the girlfriend of the heir to the jiang gaming industry?" one of them asked, but before I could say anything another one fired. They were all questions like 'Are you mystery girl?', 'How does it feel dating a hot stuff' and more. I felt my heart racing and my vision became blur. The reporters voice grew louder and deafening, making me feel suffocated.
Immediately, my legs felt weak and I could feel myself falling. I tried reaching on for something I could hold onto but everything seemed to be spinning. Just as I was about to hit the ground, a pair of strong arms caught me.
"Yes, we are dating" I heard a voice but I couldn't quite decipher what the person was saying because all I could hear was a deafening sound that sounded like a loud siren. Before anything else happened, I closed my eyes.

I quickly opened my eyes and found myself laying on a bed. A tall masculine figure stood by the window so I squinted my eyes to see who it was. The man immediately turned around allowing me witness the sight of a tall handsome man; he walked to me and my eyes widened
"Jiang Guangyu, w-what are you doing here" I stuttered as I checked my self. Luckily, he didn't try anything funny.
"Relax, beautiful. You sure got the nerve speaking to me like that" he said with a little smile on his face before sitting down on the bed, so I shifted a little.
"Get to the point. Why'd you bring me here" I know celebrities like Jiang Guangyu wouldn't want to waste their time on people like me, unless they have something important to say.
"I just saw you breaking down on the streets and helped you, why be so rude" He jokingly said, so I glared at him. "Fine, as you wish. Be my girlfriend" My eyes widened at his sudden proposal. Why me? he has many celebrities to choose from and besides I'm taken.
"No, I have a boyfriend and why do you want me?" I declined
"Woah, I'm sure your boyfriend has heard our dating rumours and of course, I won't want to ruin my reputation. Thin about this, the media thinks that we are dating and they're not willing to hear anything, why don't we just make it true and it'll benefit me. So, are you gonna deceive the public with me?"
"If I do it, how'll I benefit from it. See, I can't cheat on my partner" I stood firm on my answer. He smirked then brought his face close to mine.
"It's not cheating. It's all fake, remember? And I'm sure you've not forgotten about the perfume advert, have you? If you help me, I'll surely accept the proposal, but if you don't then it's bye-bye to the project and you'll have to hand it over to team 2 who has connections with celebrity. You have 24 hours to think; whether you've got an answer or not, meet me at Romeo and Juliet restaurant, same seat!" He threated as his fingers brushed against my ear, tucking a loose strand of my hair into place and pulled away before leaving. How did he know about the advertisement project? If I accept the offer, it could be a really great contribution to team1.
I scanned the luxurious room as I stood up from the gigantic bed. Wow! The celebrity life really looks good. I made my way towards the door, leaving that room which led me to a really huge lounge. Every object and furniture looked really expensive. The round table in the middle and sofa surrounding it looked so amazing. This should be Jiang Guangyu house. How does he live alone here?
"You seem fascinated, uh? If you accept my offer this could all, be yours" I jumped as I looked back and saw Jiang Guangyu staring at me.
"You never said I would have to live with you, or will I?" I curiously asked.
"If need be! Anyways, you better leave before you bore a hole in the sofa with your eye" he said as he opened the door for me to go out.
I immediately checked the time as soon as I got out of there. Thank goodness, there's still some time before crazy boss arrives at work. I ran as fast as I could and arrived between the duration of 5min. Phew! I made it.
"Well, well, well, look who we have here"
